04 / DETAILED MEANINGShownHidden
How the verse unfolds.
The necklace carries a story of Śiva's victory through the pearls associated with the elephant demon. Its pure appearance becomes a visible bearer of that remembered deed.
The red light of her lips colours the necklace, which is then compared with Śiva's fame mingled with valour. The description therefore moves from material origin to reflected colour to an abstract quality made visible. The ornament connects the two divine figures within one scene.
